WARNING: Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to

the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints;

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemical: work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS
